Good. You could also get r-cran-rcpp from Ubuntu, but it would be dated to
whenever the last snapshot was.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That seems inconsistent with what you have shown above. Either you have g++
or you don't.  Did you do any tricks with your installation?

For what it is worth, I just hit 

    R CMD INSTALL ~/www/code/rinside/RInside_0.2.2.tar.fz

ie using the very tarball you downloaded and it installs just fine.

So so far, this would appear to be an issue local to your system.

| make: *** [MemBuf.o] Error 127
| ERROR: compilation failed for package ‘RInside’
| * removing ‘/home/peter/R/library/RInside’
| 
| 
| The result is the same if I try to install it from within R using 
| install.packages("RInside",lib="~/R/library")
| 
| I have set R_HOME and R_LIBS_USER
| export R_HOME="/usr"
| export R_LIBS_USER="~/R/library"
| 
| 
| Any help would be greatly appreciated.
